Riots and Rebels
The only power otherwise powerless people possess lies in their numbers. Riots and Rebels is an examination of how they have exercised that power over the centuries and how governments have reacted to it. In 1381, a large army of people marched through the south-east of England to London, demanding an end to unfair taxation and threatening the rule of the boy-king, Richard II. During the eighteenth century, food riots, riots in protest at land enclosure, and riots targeting religious groups and foreigners regularly occurred. In the following century, mass gatherings demanded reform of the electoral system which allowed only a tiny proportion of the population to vote. In the early twentieth century, suffragettes chained themselves to railings, took part in huge demonstrations and endured prison sentences in pursuit of the vote for women. Recent decades have seen tens of thousands of people take to the streets of London and other cities to protest against the Iraq War and, in the last year, the war in Gaza. From the so-called Peasants' Revolt to Just Stop Oil, via the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots of 1780, Luddites breaking machinery which threatened their livelihood, the infamous Peterloo Massacre of 1819, the Chartist demonstrations of the 1830s and 1840s, 1887's Bloody Sunday and many other, often violent events, Nick Rennison provides a concise, compelling account of popular protest in Britain.
Modernity in Perspective
Draws on the work of the Renaissance theologian and mystic Nicolas of Cusa to offer an alternative to Cartesian subjectivity. The normative history of modernity begins with the Renaissance and the invention of linear perspective, which places man, instead of God, at the center of the world. The vanishing point of linear perspective portrays the world from the perspective of the single right eye of a singular subject, and it is this perspective that inspired Descartes's optics and his isolated cogito as the prime example of modern subjectivity. This book returns to the invention of linear perspective to seek another interpretation, offering an alternative to the Cartesian subject. Using the work of Renaissance theologian and mystic Nicolas of Cusa, Arianne Conty traces an alternative genealogy of the modern subject, one that allows the world, and the painting, to return our gaze. In elucidating the critique of the Cartesian subject by twentieth-century philosophers Benjamin, Heidegger, Lacan, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, and Marion, she asks how modernity could be reconceived if philosophers were to take into account the geometric vision of Nicolas of Cusa and how his alternative vision might enable us to escape narcissism and share our world with the absolute other.

Theodore Roosevelt and the Tennis Cabinet
In his final days in office in 1909, Theodore Roosevelt invited dozens of friends to the White House for lunch. They had never met as a group, but they had one thing in common: Each played tennis with the president and advised on policy matters. Roosevelt half-joked that the public would never know how much these tennis partners did to make his administration a success. Journalists dismissively called them the "Tennis Cabinet," making light of their contribution, but Roosevelt knew otherwise. This inner circle led the administration's campaigns against corporate greed, investigated public health violations, and formulated consumer protections. They founded environmental conservation policies, prosecuted civil rights violations, and implemented bureaucratic efficiencies that saved the government billions. Roosevelt's tennis mates shaped the nation's diplomacy, ending wars and promoting American interests abroad. Never had a more eclectic group advised a U.S. president. The Tennis Cabinet included legendary frontier lawman Seth Bullock and the starched-shirt corporate lawyer Henry Stimson, who served in five presidential administrations. Texas wolf wrangler Jack Abernathy played with stuffy bureaucrats like Labor Commissioner Charles Patrick Neill and social activist James Bronson Reynolds. The French ambassador Jean Jules Jusserand spun yarns with football hero George Washington Woodruff and Roosevelt's college friend and banker Robert Bacon. James Garfield, namesake son of a martyred president, sipped mint juleps with Supreme Court Justice William Henry Moody. And J. P. Morgan's silver-spooned son-in-law Herbert Satterlee kept company with rugged soldier Luther "Yellowstone" Kelly. For all their differences, these men shared a desire to help the president transform the nation from a parochial nineteenth-century republic into an imperial and industrial global power. They have escaped the attention of reporters and historians only because of Roosevelt's towering celebrity. Turning away from Roosevelt as the singular force behind his administration, it is possible to see how the contributions of his Tennis Cabinet quietly sowed the seeds of the American Century.

A fájdalom háza - Egy gyilkossági tárgyalás története
"Ha szeretsz valakit, az mióta jelenti, hogy sohasem akarnád megölni?" 2005. szeptember 4-én, az ausztrál apák napján Robert Farquharson és három gyermeke a kisfiúk édesanyjához, Cindy Gambinóhoz tartott, amikor autójuk letért az útról, és a vízbe csapódott. A tízéves Jai, a hétéves Tyler és a kétéves Bailey megfulladtak, apjuk ki tudott úszni az elsüllyedt járműből. A házaspár valamivel korábban külön költözött, és hamar felmerült a kérdés: kegyetlen bosszú vagy szerencsétlen baleset történt? Helen Garner egy barátja kamaszlányának társaságában, szinte megszállottként követte végig a nyilvános tárgyalássorozatot. A közönség soraiból figyelte a tárgyalótermi dráma szereplőinek testbeszédét, mimikáját, intonációját, és gyakran olyan pillanatokat kapott el, amelyek az esküdtek előtt is rejtve maradtak. Garner a hosszan elhúzódó per során megismerkedett a fiúk anyai nagyszüleivel, konfliktusba keveredett Farquharson ügyvédjével, és feltette a legkényelmetlenebb kérdéseket arról, hogyan ítéljük meg a bűnösséget és az ártatlanságot. A fájdalom háza a gyász, az empátia, az igazság és az igazságszolgáltatás krónikája, letehetetlenül izgalmas olvasmány a true crime szerelmeseinek Ausztrália egyik legjobb írójától. Helen Garner (1942) ausztrál író, novellista, újságíró. A fájdalom háza elnyerte többek között aNed Kelly-díjat, amelyet minden évben a legjobb ausztrál krimi és truecrime könyveknek ítélnek oda.

Papírbabák - avagy lehet-e két hazád?
A kollektív emlékezet regénye. (Magyar Narancs)
Pontos látlelet a múlt század végének Erdélyéről és Magyarországáról, a történelmi tudatalattiban kavargó indulatokról, amelybe hősei beleszületnek. (Péterfy Gergely)
Viola, Mimi és Eszti elválaszthatatlan barátnőkként a hetvenes évek fojtogató erdélyi lakótelepein egy sárga kockás pléden fekve tervezgetik a jövőt. Öröknek hitt szövetségüket azonban lassan kikezdi a diktatúra könyörtelensége, a felnőttek hazugságai és a Szekuritáté mindenhová elérő árnyéka.
Amikor az immár sebészi pályára készülő Viola beleszeret egy román orvosba, Ovidiuba, a családja elvárásai és a rendszer kilátástalansága kegyetlen választás elé állítják: maradjon az ismerős, régi hazában, vagy keressen magának új, élhetőbb otthont, amely talán sosem lesz igazán az övé? Bár az elkövetkező évtizedekben Viola orvosként a fél világot bejárja Amszterdamtól Tel Avivon át egészen New Yorkig, nemcsak azzal kell megküzdenie, hogy nőként helyt álljon a hivatásában, hanem makacs kísérőjével, a honvággyal és egy régi szerelem emlékével is.
Havas Juli finom humorral és bocsánatos nosztalgiával egy olyan generáció tagjainak sorsát rajzolja meg, akiknek a disszidálás, a hontalanság, és az újrakezdés küzdelmei között kellett megtalálniuk önmagukat - vagy épp visszatalálniuk egymáshoz.

IZGALMAS KALAND MINECRAFT-RAJONGÓKNAK!
Death Trip
Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges is arguably the most aggressive, dynamic album in rock history, and inarguably one of the most influential. Looking past the myths and into the true story of the Stooges, Michael S. Begnal illuminates the creation of this recording in the context of the cultural zeitgeist of the early 1970s, the American War in Vietnam and the ways in which punk rock came snarling into existence. Death Trip uncovers lost archives and stories, drawing on new interviews with Stooges guitarist James Williamson and pianist Scott Thurston, and sheds fresh light on the band’s creative process. This is an in-depth, definitive account that will challenge the assumptions of even the most knowledgeable Stooges fan.

Labor Unions and American Mass Politics
A comprehensive exploration of how labor unions, broadly conceived, shape party loyalties in the American mass public. How and why do labor unions matter for American mass party loyalties, specifically party identification and vote choice? Labor Unions and American Mass Politics marshals a wide range of survey data to test two different ways through which labor unions can shape mass party loyalties. The first is via people's personal affiliation with organized labor, such as a current/former member or household resident, while the second is via people's attitudes toward organized labor, such as whether they favor vs. disfavor unions in general. Overall, author David Macdonald shows that both are capable of shaping mass support for the Democratic Party and its various political candidates and that such relationships are also conditioned by whether people perceive labor unions and Democrats to be political allies, a connection that is lacking among a sizeable minority of Americans. Overall, Macdonald provides not only a timely analysis of mass labor politics in the early twenty-first-century United States but also shows that labor unions are politically consequential, even after decades of decline.

Colette
French novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873–1954) was a strikingly modern celebrity. The most photographed author of the twentieth century, her marketing genius stretched from hair products themed after her most famous character to her own line of cosmetics. Beloved during her lifetime by critics on both the left and the right, and later embraced by feminists of the 1960s and ’70s, Colette’s works explored women’s lives, from schooling to careers, maternity, ageing and sexuality. Colette’s life was no less varied than her often self-referential works, including affairs with men and women, three marriages, a stage career and roles as a journalist and literary editor. Kathleen Antonioli explores Colette’s storied life, work, private correspondence and carefully crafted public persona.
Ruthless Creatures - Könyörtelen teremtmények - Királynők és szörnyetegek 1.
Egyszer minden titokra fény derül.
A vőlegényem öt évvel ezelőtt eltűnt. Itt maradtam egy esküvői ruhával, amit sosem fogok viselni. Begyógyíthatatlan sebeket hagyott maga után. A férfi, akivel le akartam élni az életemet, nyomtalanul eltűnt. Nem hagyott hátra mást, csak a darabokra tört szívemet és millió megválaszolatlan kérdést.
Mígnem egy nap rejtélyes idegen érkezik a városba.
A magas, komor és veszélyes Kage legalább annyira titokzatos, mint amennyire szívdöglesztő. Tudom, hogy rejteget valamit, mégis úgy vonzódom hozzá, akár a molylepkék a fényhez. Minden pillantásunkkal izzik köztünk a levegő, a vágy szenvedéllyé alakul, én pedig nem tudok neki ellenállni, menthetetlenül belehabarodom.
Ám rájövök, azért küldték, hogy behajtsa az eltűnt vőlegényem ki kifizetetlen tartozását...
És az adósság én vagyok.
